**The Ball - Cinderella Style** Oh dear. Three friends have just found their parents to be overbearing, wanting grandchildren and fast. As a result, the parents have put on a ball in hopes of their sons' finding a lady amongst them.
Princes:
Lance, son of Phantom and Music
Tihalt, son of Yuri and Wolfram
Aidan, son of Meridian and Silverwind
Hopeful Ladies: (If I missed you and you want your lady added here, PM her to me and i will post her up so that people can look her up. If she has parents, introduce her with their names like the boys are above.)
Other Notable Characters:
This is an ongoing RP with a narrator(myself) that will designate the passage of time. There shall be RP for the two days before the ball, three nights of the ball, and continue with RP after the ball. It's a mixed bag like the drow breeding event.
Feel free to use the time to build up your Cinderella and create conflict for her before she meets her prince. Teens/adults can be interested in each other here. We are assuming the teens are older teens and that they will grow soon. Don't let age hold you back! Also, don't feel that a relationship between the prince and his girl is the only one that can happen here. Lesser nobles may find their loves too, and everyone loves catfights stressed ...women....
No prizes will be given out. This is just an organized RP for fun!
Prizes! Prizes! Prizes! Prizes will be given out for the following categories:
1. Best Cat Fight - I want to see the most vicious underhanded girls scheming against each other.
2. Most Forlorn Princess - The most miserable princess will get a gift from her fairygodmother.
3. Best Overall Drama - Make me laugh, make me gasp, make me cry out in joy. There have to be some good stories going on!
The prize pool:
-That Gorgon of nastiness herself, Medusa
-Greek Mythology's crazy woman, Medea. Watch out Jason!
-Lord Voldemort is here for the pickings due to some heavy HP character presence in the RP.
-Who cares about Princes, you've got you're eye on two tall, dark, and handsome brothers! Mystery Man 1 Mystery Man 2
-Dreamer got really busy this month. This Indian Princess was inspired by a cousin's wedding she is preparing for this month.

**Families** **************************************** Quote: PhantomA genus, a madman, an architect, a composer, a musician, a magician...he is the Phantom of the Opera. He grew up in the opera house and fell in love with a young singer. But she loved another, loved him enough that she was willing to spend the rest of her life with a monster to save his life... The Phantom let her go, but he still loved her. He fled the opera house and after time, somehow found himself in a place called Nightmare Valley. There he found creatures like him, who lived in a kingdom where all would pay homage to music. These women had amazing abilities, beautiful voices, but they had much still to learn. He took it upon himself to teach them all he knew in order to help them develop their abilities. It was during this time he met an enchanting creature, the physical embodiment of that which he loved most of all, his Music of the Night. With her he fathered 7 children, his pride and legacy. The Phantom recently learned that a pair from his past have also appeared in the valleys. Christine, the woman he loved, and her husband Raoul live in Dream Valley with their family. What does this appearance from his past mean for The Phantom's future. MusicMusic of the Night used to be a student of the Phantom's mastering the art of illusion from him. Since becoming his mate and bearing children, Music's been excited about her grandkids. Thus she's deemed it necessary that ALL her children find a mate and bear kids themselves. Her current challenge is her second youngest son, Lance.  Lance's main obsession is Music. Always composing, always creating always music. It would be a miracle for him to find a mate who could tolerate this obsession. He's also harsh but get deeper and he won't be so bad. **************************************** Quote: YuriWolframGaliena Yuri is the Demon King and Wolfram is his Fiance and mate. The two seem to have a love/hate relationship. Tihalt and Galiena are their twin children.. but Tihalt is the heir to the throne. Wolfram is currently looking to find a mate to betroth him to. He is the meeker personality and is much more soft-spoken and kind-hearted than his sister. He's terribly shy and is extremely embarrassed that his Father is trying to betroth him. Wolfram was thinking of Jolana (Fai's daughter, since she's a Goblin princess).. but Fai isn't really into betrothals much. Tihalt would prefer to find his own bride once he's older but pretty much always bows down to whatever his Father's tell him to do. **************************************** Quote: MeridianMeridian is the leader and First of Dreamer's ponies. At first he set the stage as a teasing flirt. Later he helped save the dragon eggs by finding ponies in Dream Valley to protect the last of the dragons. Now, after much drama in his life he is ready to settle his fleet of children down, starting with Aidan. He thinks a permanent woman will tame is wild ways and do him some good - and keep him from ending up like his father. SilverwindSilverwind is a sweet, kind and caring pony who is also religious, she rarely gets in bad moods, she keeps to herself most of the time given that she never actually DOES get time by herself given the busy life that she leads. She is willing to befriend anyone, helps those who need it no matter what and will always be there for the underdog if need be. Busy, busy, busy she is!  As a child, Aidan was hyper and curious, and his curiosity still hasn't left him. He loves fun, and women, and is generally not very serious at all. ****************************************

**Timeline** This is for people who pop in mid-RP to know where this story is at. The story starts a few days before the ball, builds up to the ball, and then ends afterwards. The ball itself will last for a few days. ("Days" are relative here - it could be 4-5 days in RL.)
Currently Storyline: It's the first night of the Ball! The ball occurs every night for three nights.
Past Events to note: It's a few days before the Ball and notices have gone out to all of the homes in the Land. Silk has gone to every house and given them an invitation.

Meridian looks at his son, "Look, I don't want you ending up like me. You're going to find a woman, settle down, and be a good boy."
Aidan glares at his father, "I'm not interested in settling down! I like girls and I like being free. Who are you to tell me what to do anyway? Your love life is so messed up that I would be crazy to listen to you."
"This is exactly why you should listen to me - I'm experienced at this sort of thing."
****
Silk is just finishing up giving out invitations. "Why do i have to be stuck with this sort of thing." He wipes sweat off of his face. "Hot weather, annoying mothers eager for their daughters to get rich...ugh..."

Anton squealed and practically whirled around in circles with the letter in hand.
Music tilted her head and blinked at her daughter. "What on earth?"
Giggling in delight, Anton beamed. "That ball you were plotting is taking affect! Practically every lady is invited for three princes! Lance is one of them!"
Twinkling eyes matched the ethused daughter as Music slowly smiled. "Wonderful. If you'll excuse me..."
~~~~
"MOTHER GET OUT!! I don't need your help! I don't need to go to the ball!" raved a rather adoring Lance who fussed and protested when his mother attempted to straighten his collar and jacket.
Music frowned. "You are going and that is final. It'll give you a delightful chance to meet young ladies and bear grandchildren."
"Is that all you think about?" He asked a little softer but still huffed.
"No not at all. It's just nice having grandbabies running around. Trust me...I'm still working on your sister Obsidian. She's as stubborn as you."
Lance shook his head and stuffed his music into his jacket to which Music merely took out and bopped him with it. "No music tonight... None of this obsession!"
Lance looked like one just took candy from a baby but he couldn't retaliate against his mother. She led the entire herd. "Must I though?" He asked.
"Yes!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aurin frowned and glanced at her father. "There's a ball coming up very soon."
"So there is...I should escort your mother to this event," murmured the pale king as he glanced over his daughter's shoulder.
Aurin ran a comb through Gabriel's mane, combing out the tangles. "Are you going to make Starlight go?" She asked curiously.
Macaan flashed a little grin. "Of course. Your mother's right. She's cooped herself up in her room for far to long. It's about time she was pulled out and reintroduced to the world."
"You know she'll go kicking and screaming right?"
"Yes...all the more fun.... and she'll be masked." Macaan grinned.

"Arda, stop looking so nervous. I've told you before and I will tell you again that no one will harm you" Orme whines, looking over his shoulder at his younger sister. Arda had always been nervous, staying close to home and spending much of her time training her talent with her mother. Arda was now very well learned in the arts of the earth, but not learned at all in the arts of dealing with strangers. This was one of her first times ever being away from the wood.
Arda sighs and follows her brother, wishing not for the first time that she had his bravery. "I will try otorno" she says, her elven accent much thicker then Orme's. Out of the elven children, she had spent the most time with her parents, as as such was the most in touch with her heritage. The one other time she had been away from the wood she had been told her thick accent and way of carrying herself was exotic. She didn't think so, she saw it as being too different from most of the others. But, Orme had wanted to go to this ball and demanded that Arda get out and meet new ponies, so as always, she followed.

Mairead looked at the invitation she had recieved. It sounded real nice, but she was wondering why she would get one. The air pony picked it up and read it to herself. "So...they are looking for mates for their princes." She shrugged. "Well I never knew that stuff could be so popular. It appears everyone is doing it nowadays." She then laid back a bit streching out her wings. "It would be nice to go so I can see other ponies. I always love to meet new ponies, plus it will be a nice experience to talk to others." She then prepared to find some decorations to make her look more presentable. Maybe she could even use her talent of singing to one of them, but then again it didn't seem to work that way all the time. Nonetheless the pegasus pony got ready for the ball.

Tihalt sighed and frowned "Stupid ball..."
Galiena walked over and smirked at her brother "Hey shrimp... still sulking?"
He glared "I don't see the point of this! Its not like Dad and Father will be stepping down anytime soon.."
She shrugged "You need a lot of training... and father wants to make sure your wife is up to par as well."
Tihalt pouted "its still not fair..."
Galiena rolled her eyes "Baby..."
------------------------------------------------
Arcana grinned at her brother "We're going to a party!"
Aether frowned "We are? Can Polaris and Cirrus come?"
She poked him "No! Its a ball for 3 princes who are looking for mates"
"Uh huh.." Aether eyed her "And.. you want to get married?"
She shrugged "Maybe... but you know.. it could be fun. And I doubt mom and dad would let me go alone... so you get to come too!"
"Joy..."
-------------------------------------------
Fai grinned at his daughter "Yay its a ball!"
Tomik grinned with him "Yay! Jolana can get married!"
Jolana turned away, ignoring them... maybe they would leave if she didn't respond.
Fai grabbed his kids and pulled them off "C'mon.. lets get some party clothes!"
Jolana.... twitched. "I'm NOT going to a ball!"
Fain hummed "Balls, fun, party.. OH! Lets go tell Kuro-pipi!"
Tomik grinned "Yeah! I bet he'll want to come too!"
She sighed "..... I really want to know how I could possibly be your daughter..."
((Thats all I can think of to go there for now.. may add more later))

"Delilah, Deiliah!" the multicolored seryph beamed racing towards the demon pony. "Did you hear? They're throwing a ball! A real ball!"
Delilah couldn't help but smile at the other pony's excitement. "Yes, I heard. It seems they are trying to coerce a few more males into marriage." She had been surprised to hear that Aidan had been one of them.
"I know, isn't it exciting?" Amara spun happily. "Couples dancing, everyone dressed in their best, everyone laughing, falling in love. It's so romantic!"
Delilah suppressed a sigh. She knew better. She had been to such dances in her youth and basked in the radiance of the occasion...look where it got her. But she couldn't bring herself to ruin the dream for the innocent seryph. "I'm sure it will be lovely," she said softly.

Uma was running around thrilled! She was so excited she didn't even realize she ran straight into Arda and Orme. "Did you hear? Did you hear?! I'm so excited! A fancy dress Ball! Oh how I love dressing up in finery!. Do you think the princes are handsome?" She was speaking a mile a minute to perfect strangers.

"Please explain to me why I look like a pansy again." Aidan looked down at his frilly wardrobe in disgust. "Why am I listening to you! This is nonsense!" In his head he started thinking of ways ot of this mess. He would have to talk to the other "princes", but between them he thought he could hatch a plan of escape.
"Girls like this sort of thing, you know. It makes you look more presentable. Maybe you should get a haircut too."

Ro eyed her invitation with interest. Well.. it wasn't like she could do her experiments now anyway (still being pregnant). Eh.. why not? It might be a good time.. besides its not like any of the princes would want her. She should probably bring a friend. She blinked, grinned and walked off "Ohhh Azzzzzyyyyyy....."

Dreamer X90
There was really only so much he could handle of posh surrounds and stuffy attitudes. His father wasn't acting like himself and very much using him to fix his past mistakes. "You can't live your life through me old me. I'm not going to let you." With that, he took off out the nearest balcony, ditching the fancy clothes as he did so.**** A while later Meridian noticed his son was missing and had been for quite a while. It dawned on him that his son might be just like him and he proceeded to go scout the land for the youth.

Mairead eventually made herself look a lot more presentable, but still. What were the chances of getting to know the princes? All the girls might be fighting over them. It just wasn't in her heart to hurt others for a prince. It was just too cruel. The pegasus pony lightly tossed her hair back and headed out for the ball. Hopefully she could at least make friends if the girls would fight over the boys.
